Elgar Cello Concerto

With her “technical brilliance” and “take-no-prisoners emotional investment that is evident in every bar,” (The New York Times), Alisa Weilerstein is the perfect match for Elgar’s rhapsodic Cello Concerto. Amy Beach’s Second Symphony, infused with melodies inspired by the British Isles, straddles old world and new, and speaks to Beach’s position as one of America’s most compelling musical voices at the turn of the 20th century.
